• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: This issue is very emotive. We call on the Government to take action by first letting the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to investigate and go deep into the issue so that we can have an independent report. There are very many statements going around in the social media which are not helping us at all. Instead, they are making the matter more emotive. So, we need to ensure that a new and independent investigation is done. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: This is a matter of life and death for our people. We do not depend on anything, but those animals. As Members have said, we sell animals to get money for school fees, healthcare, to buy food and even shelter. We depend on the animals for everything. It is just like somebody who has coffee, maize, cotton or tea. We depend on the animals wholly. So, the killing of the animals was destroying our livelihoods. One particular family lost 120 cows. The old man and his wife, who own the cows, are in hospital. What can we tell such people? ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Before the election, another 600 animals were massacred in the same area. So, this is a continuous thing. The policemen who broke the law should be arrested. They acted intentionally. When we met the IG and the Deputy IG, they said they were not aware of the incident. We do not know what is exceptional with Laikipia. Is there no law and order there? Do the police not use the normal procedures in conducting operations in Laikipia? Even in Samburu North where we sometimes have cattle rustling, we have never witnessed policemen shooting cows. They confiscate the animals, wait for ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Do not eat into my time. I would like to thank those people who brought this land policy especially the Cabinet Secretary for Lands. It is very important that this policy is implemented. I have seen that it addresses the issue of rangelands in pastoral areas. I have realised that it is going to address degradation, land carrying capacity and legal framework. We know that land in pastoral areas helps us to increase livestock production and marketing. It also assists us to address the issue of tourism, eco-tourism and this particular policy if utilised well will ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Finally. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. For your information, I am a Member of the Ad Hoc Supplementary Budget Committee. I must say that the Committee did a good job and we need to support its proposals. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: I, therefore, rise to support the 2017/2018 Supplementary Budget. This is a critical time for Kenya and supplementary budgets are always provided for when there are unforeseen circumstances and costs of an emergency nature. These particular estimates address those unforeseen issues during the budget-making process at the beginning of this year. Of great importance is the allocation of Kshs23 billion for free day secondary education. This is very important especially for poor families. Many school-going children in secondary schools remain at home because of the economic problems that we are witnessing in this country presently. Parents are unable to pay ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: to prepare. Actually, they have already prepared. This is a budget they prepared themselves, they know what they are supposed to do and the money will go along that particular budget. As for Raila withdrawing, it does not matter. To me, it is like a young man going for initiation and at the last minute he fears the knife. So he is a coward. He has run away. But this country must move on. We must move on. It is not a must that Raila should be in the ballot. It is not a must that Raila should run so ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On the same issue, we need to be firm. I know you will give a ruling. The reason why these Members are behaving the way they are, is because of their principals. I walked into an exchange bureau in a market in Nairobi today and asked them why the rate of the dollar was very high. The shilling is down and the dollar is high. They told me that they are waiting for Baba to take over. That is the time dollar will now depreciate. Let us put more effort in ensuring that we hold elections ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to join my brothers and sisters to congratulate you for your election as the Speaker for the second time. I also congratulate your deputy, the Members of Parliament who were elected for the second or third time, and those who have joined us for the first time. I also want to thank the people of Samburu County for giving me an opportunity to serve them for a second time in this august House. This is a show of the confidence they have in me. Most of my previous colleagues ... view
